High CPK levels usually indicate muscle damage or injury, heart problems (especially if CPK-MB is elevated), brain injury, inflammation of muscles (myositis), and other medical conditions. However, the specific interpretation is based on this test result and other clinical evaluations. What is a...
The implications of an elevated Creatine kinase (CK)-MB isoenzyme (MB) in suspected acute coronary syndromes, with a normal total CK, is not well established. Despite many guidelines on managing patients with acute coronary ischemia, none indicates strategies for patients with elevated MB and with...
Creatine Kinase (CK or CPK) Male : 38 - 174 units/L Female : 96 - 140 units/L Creatine Kinase Isoenzymes 5% MB or less Creatinine 0.6 - 1.2 mg/dL Electrolytes Test includes : calcium , chloride, magnesium, potassium, sodium Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR or Sed - Rate) Male :...
To test the hypothesis that patients with normal serum levels of creatine kinase (CK) but elevated percentages of MB isoenzyme fractions in suspected myocardial infarction may have sustained clinically significant events, we studied the hospital course of 347 consecutive patients admitted with suspected ...
Normally either troponin I or T levels are tested but not usually both, since levels of each provide the same information. Sometimes doctors will also use other biomarkers to confirm suspected damage to the heart, such as by testing CK–MB or myoglobin. ...

The significance of these changes has not yet been clearly defined. The aim of this study was to assess the significance of changes in CA-125 concentrations within the normal range in patients with complete remission after the first-line treatment....

More nuanced functional scales than the CDR covering a broader range of IADL could help better detect and monitor the subtle functional impairment that may occur early in the Aβ accumulation process. Therefore, the primary aim of this study was to assess the natural history of functional decline...
Patients with severe coronary arterystenosis may present with apparently normal electrocardiograms (ECGs), making it difficult to detect adverse health conditions during routine screenings or physical examinations. Consequently, these patients might miss
